Yea, I even saw a captcha that I had to click to confirm my human nature on entering this site this afternoon. I hoped we got rid of it forever after the period when forum members got flooded with it,so it recalled some bad memories.

I'm so tired of all of this. Can just Max explain what is happening? Does he even care? I mean... we all depend on his actions. Why not just say "Hello, here is why the site is broken, I'll fix it when I have time."
What a strange situation!!

The new setup is really paranoid - try to browse the website with Chrome and the Developer Tools open, it won't work. Looks like a really pricey service by Cloudflare - only available for Enterprise customers and you only get a price tag when you ask for a quote.

In fact, M@x has apparently installed some anti-crawling techniques which prevent any access to the website for "non-human" visitors. Which has kept me busy adjusting how I monitor the content

Wow, logged in this morning and saw that for the first time ever, both the main PA website and the forum are now being served via HTTPS. Nice!

I mean that nothing works, except this forum. The main site, the admin panel, discography, etc. It's a real bummer. "A timeout occurred", "Error code 524" everywhere... Sometimes it works for a few seconds, then it's blackout again. Thanks for your help!

I seem to be able to access the forums fine, but I'm having the same issues with the rest of the site. The homepage loads on rare occasions and I have not been able to access the charts in over a week. I somehow managed to get more than one artist page to load today.

These last few months have been really sketchy on even just trying to access the homepage for me.

getting into the reviews database in general is a crapshoot, one that is tipped heavily in the house's favour :)

^^ I think he means he can't access his Reviewer Page. I haven't been able to either. Edited by Atavachron - November 13 2023 at 16:21 |

I am monitoring the page availability on a continuous basis, and for the last couple of days the pages (releases, artists) were usually timing out, where only occasionally a page would load at all. Of course this could be different in other geographical regions, depending on how the servers are set up.

Hi John, since you seem to be able to contact Max easily, can you do it one more time ? The main site is down since 2-3 days and I just can't do my work.

I‘d love to know what hardware the site runs on and how many page visits there are per day 😊
